| Performance Notes | After last years celebration of the Hollywood screen musical, John Wilson and his high-octane orchestra whose technicoloured performances, according to one critic, offer the auditory equivalent of a steam-clean present a tribute to the composers and arrangers responsible for creating the Broadway Sound among them such legendary tunesmiths as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser.
With a cast of leading soloists, the concert includes excerpts from Show Boat, No, No, Nanette, On Your Toes, Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun.
There will be one interval.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and filmed for BBC Two television. |
